Thank you, Vincent Cabansag and Clockwork, for the shout out to Code Savvy and Technovation Girls Minnesota at today’s MnTech Talent Conference! Your keynote on the missing rung named something we see every day: the early rungs of a tech career are where people learn to add value, and someone has to build them.
Clockwork has been a long time supporter of our work, and we are grateful to be part of the effort alongside you. 💜
If you work in tech, product, design, marketing, or business, you can help build a rung. In Technovation Minnesota, students ages 8 to 18 identify a real problem in their community, build an app to solve it, create a business around that app, and pitch their venture to judges. Mentors guide each team from first idea to final pitch, about 1 hour a week from November through May.

What a beautiful day at Innovation @ the Park! ☀️🌳
Yesterday, the Code Savvy team set up shop in Rice Park in downtown Saint Paul, and we had a blast connecting with so many members of our local tech community. Thank you to Full Stack Saint Paul and Minnestar for hosting such a fantastic event and bringing everyone together!
If we missed you, don't worry, there's still time to get involved! 💜 We're looking for mentors for Technovation Minnesota, our technology entrepreneurship program where students work in teams to identify a problem in their community and build a tech solution to solve it.
No coding experience is required. If you bring curiosity, encouragement, and a willingness to support young changemakers, you'd make a great mentor.

Introducing What Could You Build?, our new blog series written by Bree Volker, spotlighting Technovation Minnesota participants and the technology they create to solve problems in their communities! 💡
In our first feature, meet Technovation Minnesota alum Reeha Ibrahim. With her team, T.A.R.A.S., Reeha helped build SafeHaven, an app that keeps college students informed about safety incidents near campus.
Reeha shares how the team turned a community concern into a working app, how Technovation jumpstarted her journey into software, and why asking for help is one of the most important skills a builder can have. Now heading to college, she's already thinking about how technology could help solve challenges in healthcare.

🌱 Girls who've done Technovation Girls Minnesota often say the same thing: they didn't know what they were capable of until they built something and put it in front of judges.
In this video, hear from past participants about the skills they gained beyond coding, from public speaking and communication to organization and teamwork. Technovation builds leaders! 💪
The Technovation Challenge is a global technology entrepreneurship competition for girls ages 8 to 18. This season, your team's project could go all the way to the global competition, and you'll get to compete in the Minnesota regional pitch event too, for a real shot at winning!

A little rain couldn't keep this community away! Mentors, volunteers, parents, teachers, board members, and plenty of new faces packed into Urban Growler to celebrate, connect, and talk about how we can keep opening doors to computer science for youth across Minnesota.
To everyone who braved the weather, asked great questions, and brought a friend along: you made the night. And a big thank you to Urban Growler for hosting us, and to Jeff Newcomer for capturing the evening with amazing photos! 📸
Missed it, or ready to get involved? We'd love to hear from you at codesavvy.org 💜
